The beer pours an amber color with very little head or bubbles with only a tiny ring around the glass to leave the tiniest lacing.

The aroma is clearly mellow caramel malt sweetness with only a bit of floral hops. It's pretty straightforward and pleasant. Not a whole lot of complexity.

The beer tastes really well balanced between the caramel malt sweetness and the bittering hops. It's really pleasant and drinkable.

The body/mouthfeel is thinner than I would like being well under medium. It starts off sweet and creamy while nearing the end the hops start to take over with mild bitter moving towards a slightly dry peppery finish. The carbonation is fairly lively.

All in all it's very pleasant and drinkable, but it doesn't have much of a head and it almost watery to the mouthfeel.

I'm going to give this beer a score in the mid 3's out of 5. It has lots of redeeming qualities and it totally something that I would seek out even in the summertime, but that is because it is a bit watery. Otherwise, it's pretty refreshing!

Try it, you might like it and that is all that matters! Try new stuff, life is too short not to!

Thin brown ale. Unattractive for an ipa appearance, color just is fetid swamp water. Aroma was blase burton wormwood.

Taste has some sweetness, some hopping bitterness, but more of that toffee and brown malt thing going. Equal parts english ipa and brown ale. I dunno man.

Perhaps my palate has been wrecked by the American IPAs I drink all the time, but I could not taste the hops in this one. It's not that bad of a beer, but if I have an IPA, I want it to be hoppy—even if it's a more balanced English IPA.

Iced tea color with a thin partial cover.
Smell is slightly sweet with vegetal and metallic notes.
Sweet, caramelly, lightly buttery with a touch of hippy bitterness. Surprisingly delightful! Clean finish, a trace note of alcohol.
Muted carbonation, smooth, slightly heavy body.
Delicious, worth pursuing more than just the test bottle. Cheers!
